In 2018, Mowry announced she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and mastitis, which is inflammation of the breast tissue. Six months after giving birth to Cairo, she gave an update about postpartum life on Instagram.
Still breastfeeding and pumping while working. Has it been easy? No. However, Ive continued to push through #mastitis and working sometimes 16-hour days, she wrote in the caption. Do I still have a little pouch? Yes. Ever heard of #DiastasisRecti? Its when the abs separate during pregnancy. Shining a spotlight on this because I had never heard of it.
Mowry said that, when the time is right, she will go hard with core work to restore. Below, everything shes shared about her weight loss journey.
In July 2018, Mowry was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, a condition in which a moms blood sugar levels become too high during pregnancy. Although gestational diabetes typically goes away on its own, it boosts the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
Mowry shared a video of her working out postpartum following her diagnosis. I was lost for words. Never ever did I think, THIS could happen to me, she wrote. Time to get back on track. Making healthy choices and moving.

Mowry made it clear that she was going to move through her health journey on her own timeline. The actress shared a video of her working out and opened up about her progress in the caption.
The key to bouncing back is simple: stay motivated and work at your own pace!! Oh, and squats. Lots of squats. , she wrote, adding that trainer Marcela Kim was helping her get back into shape. She shared another video working out with Marcela in August, this time performing tricep dips.

In October 2019, Mowry addressed some online trolls who made comments about her body during and after her pregnancy.
#17months post pregnant. I did it my way and in my time. Many women feel the need to #snapback right away after they deliver. That was never the goal for me, she wrote. I was called fat during my pregnancy and I was called fat after my pregnancy. Why do we do this to each other? Instead of love one another other? I will never understand that.
I intentionally documented my journey and became vulnerable to show women that its okay to go at your own pace, it is okay to love yourself no matter where you are in your journey, she continued. Do not fold to societal pressures. After hard work with just diet and exercise, today Im closer to my goal. Do I have loose skin and stretch marks? YES. Guess what?? I LOVE all me and I want you to love all of you too.

Everyone deserves to have the time to focus on themselves and their health and wellbeing, moms included. Mowry shared a progress video in December 2019 with an inspiring message to moms who think self-care is selfish. You asked and here you you go! More workout videos of my progress postpartum. Self-care isnt selfish ,she wrote alongside a video of her doing push-ups.
In the first week of January, Mowry was in the gym putting in work, even on the weekends. Happy weekend! I love to start off the weekend with a good sweat, she captioned a gym selfie. Even if you only have 20 mins, its an important part of your #wellness journey! GET MOVING.

While Mowry wrote that she was focusing on her core in February 2020, she also said she was embracing her body the way it is. Got it in! Working on my #core, she captioned a photo of her performing a lunge. Lets talk about the mid-section after pregnancy! It can be the most challenging! But Im having fun with it! Im not being too hard on my self. Im embracing the excess skin and stretch marks. Two amazing beautiful children were birthed and I rejoice.

Meditation is an amazing way to relieve stress and unwind, and Mowry is a fan of the practice. In March, she gave an update 22 months post-baby and said she was starting to feel even better, thanks to her healthy lifestyle.
Eating the right foods, working out, meditating and taking my supplements @shopanser For the past 3 years my body wasnt just for me. It was for my baby, she wrote in an Instagram caption. One year, prepping the womb, second year carrying, third, breast feeding my daughter. My point is, its okay to go at your pace to get back to you. Also, if it is a goal of yours, Im here to tell you, you can do it.
In March, Mowry further opened up about her meditation practice, saying she uses the Calm app. She also kept her mental health in check by spending more time in nature and FaceTiming with loved ones.

Its amazing how many incredible apps are avail to help keep your body moving!
